| Summary | In a remote Manchurian castle beneath Gingan Ridge, fifteen-year-old Princess Ninaaru defies expectations—a fearless rider and sharpshooter with a restless spirit. Her timid cousin Prince Jiura, orphaned and sheltered, struggles to match her boldness. When eerie lights flicker in Lama Tower, an abandoned structure haunted by legends of a warrior’s ghost, Ninaaru coaxes Jiura to investigate. But their midnight adventure spirals into peril: bandits lurk within, aided by a treacherous groom plotting to steal Ninaaru’s prized horse and ransom Jiura. As secrets unravel in shadowy chambers, Ninaaru’s quick wit and courage become their only hope. Yet Lama Tower guards deeper mysteries—hidden passages, ancient statues, and whispers of a past betrayal. With danger closing in, Ninaaru must confront not only external threats but also her own recklessness, while Jiura faces a trial that could forge him into a leader or break him entirely. Amidst moonlit chases and whispered conspiracies, loyalty and legacy collide in a tale where bravery wears many faces—and even ghosts have stories to tell. |
